Advanced Prince Knowledge. [continued]

In 1985, Prince toured and in front of The Beautiful Ones played some freaky backward stuff, accompanied by the cooing of doves. You know the drill.

I reversed it and it turns out to be some incohernet mumbling, shouting ANNNNND, what is most interesting, some vocalisations by Prince, singing Dance Electric and an unknown rendition of a few lines of The Dance Electric, (When your youth is gone, when it comes 2 dawn
A light of truth will shine baby will fall) sung by what seems a female gospel voice.

Is anything known about who this is?

You can hear these background vocals on the Prince & The Revolution Live VHS or laserdisc. The vocals you hear are from the studio recording of "The Dance Electric". It is Wendy & Lisa singing some of the the same lines that appeared in the version released by Andre Cymone, perhaps even the actual vocal tracks isolated. Also, "Boy", the backwards singing on the song "Girl" was sung by Susannah Melvoin - not Wendy.


I understand it sounds like Wendy cuz it is worked on; it has effects over it. But is that REALLY Wendy? The entire arrangement is different than any of the other Prince versions.



oops typo

Anyways, it sounds like Wendy indeed. Maybe I was the one being thrown off by the effects.
